Chapter 2
Memories Destroyed
That night Kimiko tossed and turned not able to sleep, she was too concerned about Clay, he could be anywhere. She wanted to go out and look for him, but she had to wait until morning. She couldn't even fall asleep no matter how much she tried.
She finally got up off of her mat, she carefully lifted a loose floorboard pulling out a box. She lifted the lid revealing a handmade purple blanket Clay gave her for Christmas. She laid back down snuggling into the soft blanket, falling asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Morning came faster than anyone realized, they got up early, (of course it was hard getting Raimundo to wake up early) they packed their bags for the very long journey to find the Texan cowboy.
Kimiko folded the purple blanket and put in her bag along with a small pillow, her hair brush and toothbrush. She sighed to herself she hoped that they wouldn't get lost while they were looking for Clay.
Elsewhere...
The warm water hit the shore softly, finally calmed down from the storm the night before. The wind blowing at the trees and grass making them sway side-to-side. A single figure laid there on the sandy beach, he moved slightly.
" Oh, my head." he moaned
The Texan cowboy sat up looking at the beautiful landscape around him. The lovely trees greeted him as the wind blew around him softly.
" Where am I?" he asked himself
He stood up noticing that his hat wasn't on his head, trying to figure out where he ended up was more important. He walked along a single dirt path trying to figure out where he was, he didn't see anyone walking by or anything, he keep walking along the path feeling that he somehow knew this place. He then saw a large farm, he saw that only a barn stood firm, there was ruins of what was a house, there were no animals around either.
The cowboy took a look at a sign that barely stood in the yard: Bailey Farm! He couldn't believe it he was home, but found it destroyed. Clay went into the barn to see not much changed, he saw a metal box on the floor Clay knew it to be the savings box that his father used for money saving.
He opened it up to find all the savings his dad put in it, Clay was confused, why would his father leave the savings box behind? He closed the box as he sat on a hay bail, he wondered what happened while he was gone.
As if someone read his thoughts he heard a noise from behind a barrel, the cowboy stood up, he walked over to see a wolf looking up at him shaking like a leaf.
" I'm not goin' to hurt ya none, come on out." Clay assured
The wolf slowly came out from behind the barrels, she sniffed the cowboy wagging her tail she did so. Apparently she was all alone too, the cowboy could relate for now, he saw that the wolf had an old collar around her neck, he lifted the tag until he could read it.
" Well May I guess we'll be keepin' each other company for a while." Clay said
The wolf barked happily as she wagged her tail happily, apparently she was glad to have some company around. She then caught sight of her tail chasing it in circles, Clay laughed as Maya ran in circles trying to catch her tail. Her efforts were wasted when she fell down exhausted and dizzy.
" You're somethin' else." Clay said
The wolf wagged her tail but not chasing it this time, she was too tired to bother chasing it.
Near the coast of Mexico...
" We've been flying for hours Dojo, lets pack it up for the night." Raimundo said
" We have only been flying for two hours, plus it's not dark yet." Dojo replied
" Down there I see something." Omi said pointing
Dojo went lower to see something floating in the water near the Mexican bay.
" It's Clay's hat." Dojo said
The dragon picked it up to see nothing but water under it, he handed the hat to Kimiko.
" Sorry nothing under this hat." Dojo said
" Where is he?" Kimiko thought
